Summary
Alex Tweed is a Senior Cyber Security Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience securing systems, authoring threat intelligence standards, and operationalizing vulnerability programs. At MITRE he helped shape STIX 2.0 schemas and documentation while also running day-to-day CVE operations, expanding coverage into IoT and medical device domains and training new CNA partners. He blends practical incident and log analysis—leading student research work that automated Shodan enrichment and de-anonymization workflows—with enterprise SIEM evaluation and integration experience across Splunk, QRadar, LogRhythm, and Securonix. Based in Clayton, NC, Alex pairs a 4.0 MS in Information Technology with a knack for translating complex specifications into clear examples and tooling that security teams and vendors can adopt. Notably, his background spans both offensive data-driven research and standards-driven defensive programs, giving him a rare perspective on where vulnerabilities originate and how to document them for broad community use.
